COMBINATION SUSPENSORY AND PROTECTOR.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUeUsT J. SUNDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have invented and discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Suspensories and Protectors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a. combined scrgtum sack and crotch protector or sweat pa The object of my invention is to provide a combined sack for the scrotum and chafing protector which will not be supported by a belt or by any attachment in connection with the wearers apparel.

A further object of my invention is to provide a combined sack 0r suspensory and crotch pad that may be secured to the scrotum and inserted between the apparel and body of the wearer thereby absorbing the perspiration and preventing chafing.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangements and combination to be hereinafter more fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which: I v

Figure 1 is a plan view. Fig. 2 is a View on cross section. on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a view in elevation showing the device folded to form a sack and with the extending pad or protector.

In the drawings 1 and 2 indicate two sheets of suitable material, preferably of silk or satin having a smooth surface, but other material, such as felt, flannel, linen or muslin may be used. It is to be understood that I do not limit myself to any particular kind of material although silk or satin be ing the preferred kind. The two sheets are placed in a position, one upon the top of the other, and both having a cut out portion 3 which is approximately V-shaped and the two sheets are connected by stitching as indicated by the dotted lines 4:.

A tape or tie 5 is inserted between the sheets 1 and 2 and extends entirely around Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug .11, 1914 Application filed March 20, 1913.

the V-shaped opening. When the scrotum is inserted through the V-shaped opening the tape is drawn and tied, then one sheet is folded beneath the scrotum and the end gathered between the ends of the tape and the tape again tied. The tie may, of course, be of any suitable material that will best adapt it to varying conditions without discomfort. This arrangement forms the suspensory of the scrotum. The other sheet extends back between the body of the wearer and the wearing apparel and thus affords a protector to prevent chafing and irritation from the seam of the pantaloons' in such painful diseases of the rectum as piles or fistula.

In use, no belt or attachment connected with the garments is required as the device is supported by the scrotum which prevents any unnatural strain upon any parts of the body supported by my suspensory.

It is believed that the construction and use of my invention will be fully understood from the foregoing description.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a combination suspensory and protector, two sheets of suitable material having a cut away portion and secured together around the edge of said cut away portion, and a tape inserted between said sheets around said cut away portion for securing the same to the wearer substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a combined. suspensory and protector, two sheets of suitable material secured one upon the other and having an approximately V-shaped cut away portion at one end, and a tape extending around said V-shaped cut away portion adapted to be secured around the scrotum of the wearer, one of said sheets adapted to be folded beneath the scrotum and the other sheet to extend back between the body and apparel of the wearer as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a combination suspensory and protector, two sheets of suitable material having an approximately V-shaped cut away portion at one end and said sheets being secured together one upon the other around said cut away portions, and a tape extending around said opening between said sheets, one of said sheets being adapted to be folded under the scrotum and having one end secgred by saigl tape anddthe Ether sheelt aclloa at- D. nineteen hundred and thirteen. e to eXten rearwar l etWeen he 0 y and apparel of the wezsrer substantially as AUGUST SUNDEN' described. 7 Vitnesses In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set FRANK E.
